The Rear-End Collision — Soma Or Psyché?, Hugh A. Clarke

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Rear-end collisions represent 25% of all vehicular accidents. On occasion, the patients become more disabled by the diagnosis of "whiplash" than by the injury. During the past three years, 100 patients were referred for neurological examination and disposition following rear-end collisions. Appropriate neurological testing, included the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Test (MMPI). A minority of these patients required hospitalization. The incidence of disc rupture requiring surgical decompression was less than 1%. The psychological tests were of limited aid in helping the physician to treat this group of patients. The middle-aged patient without concomitant arthritic change, having secured conservative treatment in …

The Relationship Between Number Of Sessions And Client-Judged Outcome, Jay Athy

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Outpatient clients from a community mental health center were surveyed by questionnaire to examine the relationship between number of therapy sessions attended and client-judgments of therapeutic outcome. The results indicated that client-judgments of therapeutic benefit tended to be independent of length of therapy when the client-judgement is a global assessment of therapeutic benefit. Controls for mode of therapy, initial diagnosis, type of referral, and status of case yielded similar findings. The nature of these relationships was nonlinear with the possible existence of different zones of sessions that account for varying degrees of client-perceived success. It also appeared that clients evaluated …

Unplanned Absenteeism: An Administrative Problem In A Health Care Organization, Karin Jean Simpson

Theses

Nursing technicians in the psychiatric department of a government health care system were selected for an empirical study focusing on their unplanned leave usage. My on-the-job experience as a nursing supervisor was one of the main motivations for the study.

Since the presence of nursing technicians is of vital importance to the success of psychiatric treatment modalities in a hospital setting, it is obvious that a high rate of unscheduled absences causes disruption and diminution of the therapeutic process.

The assessment measurements employed for predicting the subjects' unplanned leave usage consisted of a questionnaire including eighteen written descriptive statements eliciting …

The Use Of Discrediting Labels In The Maintenance Of Socially Constructed Reality, Nathan Church

Dissertations and Theses

Over the past two decades an increasing number of theorists and practitioners have called for a thorough rethinking of the underlying assumptions of the concept of rrental illness and the traditional psychiatric nodes of responding to mental disorders. The work of this group of writers has come to be referred to as the "antipsychiatry" literature. The insights of this perspective center largely about a rejection of those theories and methods of treatment that are based upon the medical model. Many writers point to the use of traditional psychiatric practice as an oppressive instrument of social control. While much of this …
